Deep-sea fishing

You will be required to comply with the regulations set out by the Canary Islands' Regional Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock, Fisheries and Water.

It is strictly forbidden to:

• Fish for protected species: bluefin tuna, hake and swordfish.
• Go fishing without holding the corresponding fishing licence. When fishing from specialised boats, individual licences will not be necessary as the vessel will have a Collective Fishing Licence according to the number of persons authorised to sail on the vessel.

There are certain other species that may be fished but the captain must declare that they have been caught:

• Albacore (known as Bonito del Norte).
• Bigeye tuna (Tuna).
• Yellowfin tuna (Rabil).

You can go deep-sea fishing every day of the year. This is one of the best locations in the world for this sport thanks to the unbeatable water conditions. Many of the main migratory routes meet in Tenerife's waters, gathering a huge variety of native species. It is worth highlighting the giant blue marlins and tuna fish, with the best season to catch both species running from May to September.

• A mooring point if you are bringing your own boat.
• A hire boat (from Amarilla Golf or Marina San Miguel).

The boats come with specific fishing gear for this sport:

• "LEE'S" 10 m (32 ft) outriggers.
• "LEE'S", De luxe tuna fighting chair in chromed brass and teak with four side rod holders.
• Seven 130 lb (60 kg) rods, four 80 lb (35 kg) rods, two 50 lb (22.5 kg) rods, two 30 lb (13.5 kg) rods, all by PENN INTERNACIONAL IGFA SPECIAL, each equipped with their own PENN INTERNACIONAL II reels and the finest lures on the market.
• Two Krystal Fishing electric reels (2,000 m (6,500 ft) of 0.7 mm (0.028 in) steel line).
